Copiapoa cinerea

[Spanishfly]

I thought I would post a pic of my C. cinerea, currently in bloom. According to Pilbeam it is unusual to have one of these flower in captivity, so I am quite excited.

Nice beast.

I don't know why but it makes me think of a cactus dinosaur :d

You want reptilian skin try my Ariocarpus fissuratus.

Loving your plants man! I only have one copiopia. It's some weird monstrose species. Tenuissima or something.

Looking good, hostilis, nice pic. C. tenuissima is a small species, just 3 to 5 cm across, but flowers freely at a young age. (According to Cacti for the Connoisseur - J. Pilbeam)

Good to know. This one is a monstrose (mutated) form of it so it pups from every areole. I'm not sure this can flower easily since most monstrose clones that have heavy pupping do not flower often. It would be pretty awesome if it did flower though.
